Supplementation of guanidinoacetic acid and betaine improve growth performance and meat quality of ducks by accelerating energy metabolism

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) and betaine on growth performance, meat quality and metabolism of ducks. A total of 384-one-day-old Cherry Valley meat ducks (55.75 ± 0.55 g) were randomly assigned to four treatments with 6 replicates of 16 ducks. Duc...
